John Grant (22 May 1930 - 23 February 2014) was a Scottish author and illustrator, possibly best known as the author of the ''Littlenose'' series of children's stories, which he read on the BBC's ''Jackanory'' in 55 programmes from 1968 to 1986. Grant was born in Edinburgh on 22 May 1930. As a student, he earned extra cash illustrating learned academic papers and designing menus, toast lists and illuminated addresses, and during National Service he drew cartoons for the official army magazine ''Soldier''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scottishbooktrust.com/profile-author/935 )〕 He originally invented ''Littlenose'' to entertain his children, but failed to find a publisher until BBC commissioned him to both write and present his stories of a little Neanderthal boy who was always getting into trouble. These proved a great success, and he went on to write and illustrate over 13 ''Littlenose'' books between 1968 and 1993. Grant died in Edinburgh on 23 February 2014, leaving his wife Elizabeth, children Euann, Niall, Kirsty and Andrew, as well as six grandchildren. == Books written and illustrated by John Grant == *''Littlenose'' *''Littlenose and the Bear Hunt'' *''Littlenose and Two-Eyes'' *''Littlenose Goes South'' *''Littlenose Moves House'' *''Littlenose the Explorer'' *''Littlenose the Fisherman'' *''Littlenose the Hero'' *''Littlenose the Hunter'' *''Littlenose the Joker'' *''Littlenose the Leader'' *''Littlenose the Marksman'' *''Littlenose to the Rescue'' *''Littlenose's Birthday'' *''The Reivers'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Grant (children's author)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
